| Quote: Irregular Hoops "Thing is, I’m more concerned with the coaching structures in place.
Surely Radford can’t be absolved of all blame?
I’ve no doubt they work hard, but the reluctance to implement a plan b is more of a worry in my opinion, than the performances of some players.
Cutting players looks proactive, but it’s all smoke and mirrors if they aren’t being coached correctly.'"
its funny but before the Wakefield game at home Radford announced they had been working on some new ideas and structures.I saw nothing new whatsoever but since then we have played 3 games and conceded 137 points and scored only 29
I agree with you Radford surely cannot be absolved of all blame and following Pearsons announcement that the squad is to be shaken up and refreshed contrary to Radford repeating several times that we will run with the same squad with no additions that surely undermines Radfords authority as a coach.

| Would like to see something like this:
Talanoa - Caton Brown
Griffin - Gelling
Abdull - Jones
Green - Mossop
Washy & Fash - Crosby
Downs & Logan - naughton
Shaul
Faraimo
Connor
Gelling
Caton-Brown
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Mossop
Jones
Manu
Westerman
Paea
Crosby
Bowden
Minichiello
Bienek
Matongo
Hadley
Lane
Naughton
Carlos
Miloudi
Harris
Litten
Scott
Plus an attacking coach.
Might be overly optimistic but, I don’t think any of the players I’ve mentioned are ‘out of this world’ and would improve us.
Caton-Brown would give us some pace in the back line we need, plus if you look at his stats he’s got a good average gain and metres per game would suggest he’s got the work rate that Radders wants in a winger
Gelling, X factor player, good work rate. Can’t imagine he’ll want to stay at Widnes if/when they go down
Mossop - we need a starting prop, he’s done it all at Wigan and been impressive at Salford. Good metres/ average gain this year. Should test Salford out with a transfer fee
Crosby - again done it all at Wigan, had a tough few years with injuries and personal problems, he’s only on a short term deal at Leeds. He’s an aggressive prop, would add some mongrel to the pack.
Jones - like a younger Minichiello

| For me first of all I’d play Connor at full back , think it’s his best position and don’t see what Shaul offers . I wouldn’t have resigned talanoa and would have tried for Johnson from Wakey or similar . Regards new signings I think we just need to freshen the pack up , suppose to have signed jones , but I think we need a good prop to replace watts and a back rower in the Willie Manu mould , someone who’s hard to put down and causes havoc out wide .

Whitley is a good shout. Really good player especially for his age. Think too many clubs would be after him though so to get him we'd have to pay over the odds.

Is Whitely a second row or centre? seems to play both for Widnes
The player from Widnes we should be looking at is the hooker Danny Walker.Only18 but miles ahead of Litten and we need some competition for Houghton.

Yeah can play both but I THINK his main position is second row, but been used in the centres as cover.

| wire, saints and wigan will pick off any decent kids from widnes. They're hardly going to come to the other side of the country to play for a club in turmoil when they can play for a top 4 club on their doorstep

Salary cap will come into that but 1 bad season doesn’t mean we are not a top 4 team . Wire Leeds and Wigan have all had bad seasons recently and not made the top 4 . Think radders and Pearson now know we messed up resigning mini washy and talanoa in my eyes to early . Just hope Pearson backs his words up , won’t be easy and not that straightforward but he’s done us ok so far .

If he was being paid in actual peanuts it would still be too much. I just don't see that he offers anything anymore.

| Id actually get rid of Kelly. Great player on his day but is injured as much as Green and our halfs should be Sneyd and Conner now. Kelly will be one of the biggest earners too which if free'd up will massively help us bring good fresh new blood into the team

I think if the club knew his concussion problems would have been so bad they probably wouldn't have signed him and it would have freed up a non fed place and salary cap to bring in a big prop or 2nd rower
